Test automation for a global payment factory rollout

Rapid growth and acquisitions led the client to a new global corporate payments platform. Rolling it out across regions needed testing that could keep pace.

• High daily volumes and file sizes for payments and statements across treasury, finance and payroll
• Manual, spreadsheet-based testing increasing effort and rollout cost
• Little reuse of test cases and data between cycles
• Long test execution needing coordination across internal teams and external partners
• No traceability of requirements and outcomes across internal customers

SkySparc built a corporate payments test automation solution for FIS Payments Hub, using cloud-based automation and BI platforms.

• A single, traceable source for test scope, scenarios and test data
• TestRail set up for more than 100 users, supporting manual and automated testing
• Full test automation of global payment format testing using a component-based approach in UiPath
• Cloud integration synchronising test cases and data into TestRail
• Real-time Tableau analytics across testing, requirements and defect management
• Knowledge bases and cookbooks so the client's team can extend the automation

The client now runs repeatable, continuous testing for FIS Payments Hub across rollouts, upgrades, patches and bank onboarding, independently of external support.

• More than 40% average reduction in test cycle duration
• More than $1.5m estimated cumulative net savings over four years
• More than three FTE less in annual testing effort
• Wider test coverage, with less defect leakage into production

"SkySparc has really helped deliver a great testing experience from top-to-bottom, delivering an intuitive, flexible Test Automation dashboard that is easily one of the most functional dashboards I have ever used." Senior Manager, Treasury Technology
